Utter Clutter

ok, Ok really I need to get that post off the top ;)

Remember this post: If you don't that's Ok, I'll Summarize:We completely re-arranged the entire house to allow MT to sleep in his crib in his room and have a separate play room. That was at the end of Feb .. As in less then 4 months ago .....

Today (and tomorrow) and a good part of the next week, are being dedicated to Move the entire contents of my house all around AH-GEN. Fickle Much, you ask? Yes, No and Maybe. It has to do with alot of different things we have going on. Our bedroom currently did not have any doors on it. We need doors. E's brother is moving in this week. He needs a room (with doors) and a bed .... So we spent a good deal of time today actually decluttering and cleaning. Like Deep, spring cleaning. On your hands and knees with a toothbrush and a rag type of cleaning. We also bagged up 7 very large trash bags of clothes, and 4 -5 very large trash bags of misc. items that just need to go. (and that was only attacking 2 walk-in closets, 1 bedroom/bathroom, 1 storage closet and 1/2 of the kitchen. Yard Sale,Here we come! We have 2 more bedrooms, 2 more closets, 1 more bathroom, a living/dining area, and the other 1/2 of the Kitchen left still to tackle.

I have recruited my parents to come along for the ride. Plus 4 people (and a munchkin) accomplish so much more than 2 people (and a munchkin). AND. I hate to actually admit this, but my house was in dire need of attention. It was getting out of hand. It was no clean sweep house BUT, It needed some TLC. It was my push to get rid of things from college that I thought needed saving, go through old unpacked boxes and really evaluate the items' purpose in my life/house. My dad has very good skills with utilizing every aspect of the room to it's fullest and THAT is what I needed. Help, Brawn, Brains, Babysitting, and motivation. On this rainy week, It was just the perfect task. I feel so accomplished ... And so amped and ready for more tomorrow. It feels great to De-clutter. Bring it on! I am winning the war on my household!

Wow, I feel great just reading that!! I love when the brains, brawn, motivation and babysitting all happens at the same time. I usually only get one of those at a time and it doesn't get me so far. How long is your bil staying for? Will his room become bby's room, or will you keep it a play room? I am a "redesigner" at heart myself. I purposely have similiar colors all around so I can move pictures/accessories to any room.

I always feel this new "spirit" in me every time I take the time to REALLY get this kind of things done, and even better with extra help!

My 2 cents on your last post: Fiber Choice chewable tablets did wonders for me during pregnancy and I believe they are more of a supplement than chemicals which I found better being pregnant. They have ones for "weight management" and the plain version, I stayed with the plain and they did the trick for me!

That's awesome! I need to do the same top to bottom in my household but haven't had the courage to do it yet. I've tried to tackle it a room at a time, but it can be hard! I'm so glad to hear that you had some great success :)

My Journey In a Nutshell

My husband and I have been married for 9 yrs. We were TTC for 6 years with bombed success and many sad stories. We did all the tests imaginable. Confirmed that I have PCOS Feb 2007. Received a Postive Pee Stick in October 2007. Delivered a Beautiful Boy (MT) June 2008. Somehow received another positive pee stick March 2009. Delivered another Beautiful boy Nov 10. This is therapy for me. I was just trying to wade through life and not drown. I am here where I never thought I would be.
